started to do some superslow training... actually i only wanted to one workout in superslow style to shock my muscles, but i decided to keep going on with it. get only very little pump during the training, but my muscles seem to react rather well...

thx! well, it was a "normal" contest, not especially for natural bodybuilders, so my opponents were quite hard to beat. 6th was really okay for me, caus i wasn't 100% in top shape... next time i'll be better!

hi there! just wanted to report to you guys again, after a while of absence...

i'm planning to compete again in october/november, so i'm slowly starting to prepare. but beside preparing i just started a new nutrition experiment. after reading dr. grahams 80/10/10 diet, i decided to give his raw vegan approach a chance. i started a few days ago, so i can't say too much about it yet... but it seems i'm getting leaner. i'll keep you posted!

Hi Arvid

I briefly used superslow training myself a few years ago, i experienced the same effect, little in the way of congestion build up within the muscles, i can only imagine this is due to fewer muscular contractions taken place. I personally agree with Mike Mentzer and Arthur Jones, as long as the movement is performed under control with smooth turnarounds, then there's no need for a specific cadence.

4 weeks left till my next competition! preparation is working quite well... still on my 80/10/10 diet. in contrast to the my contests in the past, i do a lot more cardio at the moment. i go to the gym everyday, alternating between cardio and weight training days. hoping to get really shredded over the next weeks... just check out my facebook site to watch my progress!
